Well, I just had a friend buy an 08 Cobalt, an she really seems to like it. The car is very fast, very reliable,  super good on gas. Does the car have the SS package on it? The only thing I could find wrong with it is that the car does sit pretty low,  if your like me. I like my cars loud like a v8 roar to them, but I have heard some Cobalts with exhaust on them  they sound pretty good. So over all, I would get this car in a heart beat.
